2 Chronicles 34:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 34:11

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it
To the masons and carpenters:

to buy hewn stone;
to put in the room of that which was decayed or fallen down:

and timber for couplings;
of boards, beams, and rafters:

and to floor the houses;
the chambers, the apartments in the temple, which belonged to the priests and Levites:

which the kings of Judah had destroyed;
the idolatrous ones, who had let them go to decay and ruin, taking no care of them.

2 Chronicles 34:11 In-Context

9 First they turned over to Hilkiah the high priest all the money collected by the Levitical security guards from Manasseh and Ephraim and the rest of Israel, and from Judah and Benjamin and the citizens of Jerusalem.

10 It was then put into the hands of the foremen managing the work on The Temple of God

11 who then passed it on to the workers repairing God's Temple - the carpenters, construction workers, and masons - so they could buy the lumber and dressed stone for rebuilding the foundations the kings of Judah had allowed to fall to pieces.

12 The workmen were honest and diligent. Their foremen were Jahath and Obadiah, the Merarite Levites, and Zechariah and Meshullam from the Kohathites - these managed the project. The Levites - they were all skilled musicians -

13 were in charge of the common laborers and supervised the workers as they went from job to job. The Levites also served as accountants, managers, and security guards.
